its a nice read... please read and enjoy....

here is a small excerpt.

Stone, rock, pure stone, deadly. Up higher it was easy because of the peat, but right away the stone came up. and right there, with a shitty little shovel, i started to dig. If it took me two and half days to dig my little foxhole, how could the english build an aluminum airstrip with hangars and everything in two and half-hours? something went wrong.... They had machines, they had everything. I dont know where they got them. So I wondered, how was I going to win the war with my little shovel?

wahhh...malaysia just issued a letter of intent for two lousy British designed light frigates, the nuts here go bonkers.

All in, the RMN currently has four light frigates whilst RSN has six full fledged modern frigages. Look at the geography and tell me who's top heavy.

BTW, the 8 RMR is just another standard infantry battalion.

Not so with the 8 RRR.

If any of u here has good marks for the 8 RMR, the 8 RRR could easily tops that.

Originally the RMR were standard infantry units whilst the RRR were light infantry. Now some of them has been transformed into para or mechanised. including the rangers.

Your comparison here is mainly by numbers, you have to look deeper into the capababilities, numbers have an influence, but capababilities play more importance...

ferryman2393 SG

capababilities play more importance

true. the sensors and harpoons on those formidables can reach and touch the lekius and kasturis without getting their hands wet.

The perdanas and other fast attack crafts are desserts for the six formidables.

tripwire SG

of course we have good mark for RMR...

afterall... we have always been awed by the achievements of MAF... such as...

1. crushing the malayan communist party.
2. defeated the indonesia armed forces during konfronatsi.
3. saving the entire american rangers in mogadishu.
4. bully off the bruneian navy over contested water.
5. knock into the indonesian navy ship over contested water.
6. challenging PRC over sprately island.
7. air-lifted a MBT all the way from europe for national day.
8. para jump over the north pole.
9. climb mount everrest.
10. shot down australian F-18 hornet.
11. threaten to poison singapore water.
12. chopped down a christian cross in serbia.

see... such achievements...

all SAF have to show on the other hand are stupid ISOXXXXX and god know what TV commercial including one that showed an officer (which is actually a australian actor) and wayang everyday about how capable SAF is.

Not clear pic as its nighttime and my phone's night cam sux. But can make out the 2 stars on the bonnet.

moca SG

What the fu.ck are you talking about?

mhcampboy SG

Not surprising. I saw CDF car outside a KTV lounge at Tjg Pgr before. With his driver wearing a number 3 waiting around. And the time is around midnight already. Poor driver.

dont worry, our 1st commando, 1st n 3th Guard will eat the Horse country rangers for breakfast.

Lt Adnan held off the Japanese attacking his position for many days. Nearby British or Aussie troops refused to fire in support of his position in order to conserve ammo. Probably becos they didn't want to waste ammo in defense of "native" troops.

Lt Adnan was also sharp enough to recognise that an approaching party dressed in Allied uniforms were in fact Japanese troops and fired on them.

By the time the Japanese overran Lt Adnan's position, there were only a few of them left alive and they were all out of ammo.

The Japanese slaughtered them in anger.

BadzMaro SG

ORLY! he he...

The way you compare the fighting strength of a force is wrong, you must see want they are train for and what type of training.

So what if they are army are professional full time soldiers ? If they spend their time camping here and there like boy scouts, we are not comparing who build the nicer tents or cook outdoor better !!!

ferryman2393 SG

of course we have good mark for RMR...

really? i thought the SAF could eat the MAF for breakfast.

let alone the RMR.

ferryman2393 SG

whatever it is, the RMN is still no longer a match for RSN..period.

unless some nuts have excessively wet dreams every night, the RSN could make toufu out of the RMN everytime.

Sea power without air power is senseless

Singapore`s strategies no longer revolves mainly around Malaysia and Indonesia. It`s not an insult. Singapore has better things to worry about given her newly expanded capabilities. It`s an evolution of years of investment in time, effort and money. It`s a result of changing geo-political dynamics. Where would Asean be if not for Singapore`s balancing act in various areas ? I mean it`s ridiculous thinking how far-fetched this sounds given the disparities in sizes. It becomes comical just seeing how some countries in this region try to react to Singapore`s shadow. You`d think it does`nt disrupt military plans(of others)..the flip-flopping and all? And you`d think we would want to reveal everything we have ? I dont think that`s far from the truth.

I agree with you on the above point. Care to elaborate more on the strategies beyond Malaysia and Indonesia please? Very Happy
